JPH085640A - Label for slide glass sample - Google Patents

Abstract

PURPOSE:To obtain a label which can pass through a dyeing process without being stripped off or blurring the printed character. CONSTITUTION:An acryl based paste is employed as an adhesive on the rear surface along with a Daicel polyester adhesive film and a white paint is admixed to produce a kneaded PET label 3. The surface of the label 3 having high gloss is then subjected to high temperature heat transfer printing to produce a label for slide glass sample.

Description

Detailed Description of the Invention

[0001]

BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION 1. Field of the Invention The present invention relates to a label for identifying slide glass specimens such as tissue specimens and cytological specimens.

[0002]

A slide glass sample such as a tissue sample and a cytological sample is prepared by the following steps. (1) A step of cutting a tissue or the like into thin pieces, uniformly spreading the thin pieces on a slide glass, and adhering them to each other to prepare a primary slide glass specimen. (2) The above-mentioned primary slide glass specimens are stained with a prescribed chemical solution according to the purpose of the slide glass specimens such as hematoxylene, eosin; Papanicolaou; Dyeing process to create. (3) An encapsulation process in which a mounting medium is poured on the cells, tissues, etc. of the secondary slide sample obtained by the staining process, and a cover glass is placed on the mounting medium to prepare a slide to obtain a final slide glass sample.

Since many slide glass specimens are processed at the same time, it is necessary to identify individual slide glass specimens. Therefore, in the past, slide thin pieces
Before or after contacting the glass, the operator had to write letters etc. with a pencil on the frosted part (cloudy part) of the slide glass. However, the conventional identification by handwriting has problems that the work is complicated, the efficiency is low, and writing error and reading error are likely to occur.

Therefore, it has been conventionally considered to print on a label and attach it to a slide glass for identification, but after the dyeing process, the rubber-based glue used in the conventional label is changed to alcohol or xylene. As a result, the rubber itself melts out and the label peels off as a result, the label is dyed in the dyeing process and the printed characters are difficult to read, and the problem that the label is not clearly printed There was no practical use.

[0005]

The inventor of the present invention has made earnest developments in order to solve the above-mentioned problems, and arrived at the present invention. In the first aspect of the present invention, acrylic glue is used as the adhesive on the back surface of the label. In the second aspect of the present invention, the adhesive film on the back surface of the label is a dical polyester adhesive film. In the third aspect of the present invention, acrylic glue is used as the adhesive on the back surface of the label.

[0006]

Embodiments of the present invention will be described below.

FIG. 1 is a perspective view showing a state in which the label of the embodiment is attached to a slide glass.

A double-sided adhesive film of dical polyester was attached to the back surface of the label of the example. A protective tape is releasably attached to the surface of the double-sided adhesive film.

[0009] As a material for the label, generally PET paste is used.
(Polyethyleneterephthalate
It is called white in e), and PET in which a white paint is uniformly dispersed was used. The surface glossiness of the label and the degree of dyeing with a dye solution were examined by experiments. The results are as shown in Table 1.

[0010]

[Table 1]

Judging from the degree of dyeing with the dye chemical, it was found that a label having a low surface gloss, that is, a rough surface cannot be used.

Then, under various conditions, printing was conducted by printing on the surface of the label by a thermal transfer method. The results are shown in Table 2.

[0013]

[Table 2]

Judging from the result of the printing condition, when the thermal transfer at a high temperature (about 70 ° C.) was performed, the surface gloss was all good, but when the thermal transfer at the normal temperature was performed, It was found that when the surface glossiness was high or when it was extremely high, the printing condition was poor and it could not be used.

Comprehensively judging the degree of dyeing with the dyeing chemical solution and the result of the printing state, it was found that the high temperature heat transfer is the optimum condition for the label having a high surface gloss.

The date and identification number are printed on the label of the embodiment by thermal transfer. Remove the labels from the protective tape and attach each label in its place on each slide glass. After that, a thin piece of tissue or the like was evenly spread on a slide glass and adhered thereto. Then, a good slide glass sample could be prepared through a dyeing process and then an encapsulation process.

[0017]

Since the label according to the present invention does not peel off even after the dyeing process, individual slide glass specimens can be identified. Further, the label according to the present invention does not stain itself even after the dyeing process, and moreover, the machine printing can be performed clearly, so that the printing work and the reading work are made more efficient, and there is almost no accident of mistaking the sample.
